Marketing departments have been laboring over and tweaking branding strategies for a lot longer than they’ve been looking to SEO for exposure on the web. So, despite SEO being an effective branding tool, there are often some conflicts to work out before you can get your branding and SEO strategies working together effectively.

Today, I will focus on the other side of the negative SEO coin: tactics that are not outright deceptive, they’re just neglectful. These neglectful website design elements may not get your site banned from the search engines like …
Local SEO is an odd duck. It’s hard to fake. It doesn’t play by the same rules. It’s listed reviews carry unheard of clout. And to top it off, a business doesn’t need to a website to rank high. What? Yep. A business can rank in the Google Map results without anything called “page rank.”
